Flowers red. This comes nearest to E. nitida, Andr., but with 

 a different habit; the flowers are smaller even than in the var. 

 parviflora, Klotzsch, of that species, and the leaves are 4nate, 

 besides other differences. 



Erica (§ Pachysa) Pairii, n. sp. — Fruticulus pedalis glaber 

 ramosus, ramis vahdis cum ramulis dense foliatis adscendentibus ; 

 folia 4-6na, saepius 5na, oblonga obtusa crassa dorso sulcata, 

 recuryo-patentia, marginibus scariosis denticulatis, 5 mill, longa ; 

 floraha ampliora obovata, cum bracteis sepalis corollisque visco- 

 sissima ; flores terminales 4ni sessiles subcernui ; bracteae foliacese 

 oblongae obovataeye_ arete approximate, 6 mill, longa? ; sepala 

 lineana acuta viridia submembranacea, marginibus glandulosus, 

 5 mill, longis; corolla urceolata, 7-9 mill, longa, limbo brevi 

 ovato acuto erecto patente marginibus erosulis ; stamina inclusa, 

 filamentis complanatis, antheris oblongis, poro magno longitudine 

 fere loculi, scabriusculis breviter aristatis ; ovarium oblongum gla- 

 brum, stylo demum exserto, stigmate capitato. 



Hab: Cape Colony, South-western Region, rocky mountain 

 ridges near Simon's Town, alt. 250 met., fl. June, C. B. Fair 

 (No. 7194 in my herb.; No. 1308, Herb. Norm. Aust.-Afr.). 



Flowers pure white. A very distinct species, for which we are 

 indebted to my friend Mr. C. B. Fair. It is certainly not in Ben- 

 tham's Monogr. ; yet I should have refrained from describing it at 

 present on account of its having been found at no very great 

 distance from Cape Town, and of my inability to compare it with 

 the older species enumerated in the Index Kewmsis which are un- 

 known to me, if it were not that it has been already somewhat 

 largely distributed some time ago under the present name. Although 

 sent out under the section Callista it belongs rather to Pachysa by 

 its habit and its very viscid corolla. The large pore of the anther 

 also separates it from the former section. In appearance it re- 

 resembles E. reflexa, Andr., but differs by leaves, inflorescence, and 

 especially by its much larger bracts and glabrous ovary. 



Erica (§ Pachysa) nubigena, n. sp.— Fruticulus erectus ro- 

 bustus ramosus ; folia 3-4na, oblonga vel oblongo-ovata subobtusa, 

 margine cartilagineo-denticulata ciliatave, juniora apice nigro- 

 apiculata, dorso sulcata, viscosa nitida, circa 4 mill, longa, longi- 

 uscule petiolata; flores 3ni terminales, pedicellis 1-2 cm. longis, 

 bracteis linearibus remotis ; sepala lanceolata colorata viscosa 

 glanduloso-ciliata, 4 mill, longa; corolla lato-urceolata viscosa, 

 7 mill, longa^ limbo brevi rotundato patente ; stamina inclusa, 

 filamentis basi complanatis sursum attenuatis, antheris oblongis 

 glabris subulato-aristatis ; ovarium oblongum, 8-sulcatum veluti- 

 num, apice villosum, stylo tenui incluso, stigmate capitato. 



Hab: Cape Colony, South-western Region, amongst rocks on 

 the Great Winterhoek Mt. near Tulbagh, alt. about 1900 meters,
